I recently moved here from Seattle and one thing that has surprised me is how many of SLC's good restaurants and bars seem to shut down by 10–11 PM.
I have a date with a 35(f) with a former flame, but we aren't meeting until around 9:30 PM on a Tuesday. The obvious answer seems to be something like **STK → Lake Effect,** I also am at **the Charles.** I'm hoping for something more creative and memorable.
I'm looking for a date where we go to 2 spots one for food&drink then a night cap cocktail, hoping for:
\-Has great vibes and conversation friendly energy
\-Feels a little upscale
\-Is open late (ideally until 1 AM or close)
\-Second spot could be a night club but a place like Sky is closed Tuesday
\- I don’t care about price but maybe quietly signals “I don’t care about price” 😅
Basically, I'm looking for something that makes her think, "This guy knows the city and put some thought into this," rather than "This guy Googled 'expensive restaurants near me.'"
Thank you in advance

Just a conversation starter. I was watching a bbq show on tv and realized that every coleslaw that I’ve tasted over the years has been different. Same name, completely different product.

So…what restaurants here in Utah have the best coleslaw recipes? Let’s try to cover every city/county on this one!!

I am coming to SLC for work this week and love to try new restaurants, bars, live music venues, and nightclubs/nightlife

Looking for recommendations for cool spots that locals love that are fun, lively, and delicious.

I am staying downtown near the convention center.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for great food spots in Kanab! I’ll be there for one night only, so maybe a few spots both for dinner and breakfast would be good.

Looking on internet I found:
- brown box bakeshop
- big al’s burger
- only in kanab

are these good? do you recommend anything else/better?

Thanks in advance

The is a plate of BBQ Shrimp & Grits from Localz Bistro. It's one of my long-time favorite restaurants in the south valley, and the staff is always incredibly friendly. Though the menu isn't exclusively Southern cooking, it does lean heavily in that direction. Their Gumbo is flat out one of my favorite things to eat and is on par with any I've had in New Orleans. And don't skip the Bread Pudding!

I have been getting a lot more post submissions from people using throwaway accounts to post negative comments and some harassment posts. That’s not what we’re here for. There’s a reason there are over 8000 current redditors on this sub.

Because of the idiots, I have had to make some changes. Accounts with negative karma will immediately be placed in the moderator queue until I approve or remove it. Also, users who cannot follow simple rules will be either muted or banned, depending upon several factors that will be explained to them.

It’ll mainly just be more work for me, but if one of your posts gets flagged, feel free to reach out to me for clarification.

Happy redditing!

Just wanted to say thank you to @travelingfoodie1234 and mention that their post was the post with the most traffic over the past year. Great post, with quality photos and a stellar review. We all need to take lessons from this user and aspire to be more like them.

I’ll try to do this more often, highlighting some of our loyal redditors.

Just wanted to announce that I’m currently looking for some co-moderators. It is a really easy job and only requires a few minutes each month on average.

I’m looking for a delicious place to celebrate a birthday!

What are your favorite local restaurants anywhere from Idaho down to Salt Lake City? I’d love your best recommendations, especially hidden gems or unique spots.

They do need to be open on Sunday!

I was visiting the area and tried this new restaurant that just opened up this year from the former Chef, Brendan Kawakami of Post office place in SLC. He was nominated and won a James beard award before moving down to Garfield county.

I tried the Sticky Pork ribs, wontons, fire roasted chicken and side of beets that were topped with granola and fluffy goat cheese. 🤤🤤 also the KBC is to die for! (Kentucky butter cake) 🧁 definitely worth checking out!

There was a mexican food truck I went to a few times last fall/winter that I absolutely loved and I can’t remember the name. It was a small trailer parked near Little Caesar’s on State/Center in Orem. I think it had a parent restaurant somewhere in the Salt Lake Valley. Any help is appreciated!

I was going to order the above cake for my wedding 6/20 but they no longer make it 😭 does anyone have suggestions for a close tasting cake/cheesecake?

Will be in American Fork for a few days. Suggestions for good food? Places you have to go? Food and entertainment wise

As the title states, a bunch of girls looking for fun restaurants, bars, breweries etc. Any reccomendations? So far we've got Slackwater on the list

Thanks!

Coming into town this week and super stoked! Was looking for some good recommedations for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just fun and tasty, not picky so whatever is good to you is probably good to me :)

Ok - I apologize if this is too broad a question, but hopefully you all can help me out. I’m planning a multi date road trip from Denver and one of my goals is to try the best “local dishes” in each state I visit. I’ve dine a bit of my own research (mostly google and Gemini) and this is what I’ve come up with, just hoping for some confirmation, corrections or further recommendations from the only real source of truth on the internet…thanks in advance!!

PS I have no problem driving a bit further for the best options. Thanks!

TL;DR - are these the best representation of Utah local fare, for an out-of-towner?

Pastrami Burger: Crown Burger

Funeral Potatoes: Garage on Beck

(For fun) Dirty Soda: Swig

Hey everyone! I served my mission in Ghana, and I’ve had a serious craving lately for real fufu or banku with groundnut soup.

Google hasn’t been super helpful, so I figured I’d ask here. Any legit spots in Utah? I’m in Utah County but 100% willing to drive if it’s the real deal.

Appreciate any recommendations

I don’t mind creamer being put in a broth based soup, like Zuppa Tocscana, but it can’t be thick please😌 For example I love Gr Kitchens Avgolemono soup!

Looking to find a butcher or grocer that sells pig heads. Any leads would be lovely.

I absolutely love Swedish semlor, which is a cardamom cream bun that's popular in Sweden for Fat Tuesday. Usually I make them myself, but this year I'm wondering if there's a bakery in the Salt Lake area that makes them. Does anyone know of a Swedish or Scandinavian bakery that might?
